Bonjour compatibility, please implement DNSServiceUpdateRecord(...)

[olemd]

I'm currently working on a project where cross-platform (at least windows and linux) source would be a huge advantage. Currently we're using Bonjour and avahi-compat-libdns_sd to achieve this. Unfortunately the compatibility layer doesn't yet support DNSServiceUpdateRecord().

Hopefully someone who knows avahi a bit better than I do could implement it, otherwise I might be able to get a patch of sorts together myself.

olemd: could you point me to an example application which I could use to test my DNSServiceUpdateRecord work with?

[lennart]

I assume you need that function for changing TXT records and not for other records, correct?

(If you needed it for other records you'd have probably request addition of DNSServiceAddRecord(), too. That's why I came to that conclusion)

[olemd]

Yes, I primarily need it for changing TXT records. The only "real" application I know that uses it is Apples iChat which uses the TXT record to indicate status. However dns-sd.c that comes with the Bonjour sources compiles nicely with avahi-compat-libdns_sd and does have a test for updating/changing TXT records.

[lennart]

ah, thanks for the pointer to the test tool.

(In [1270]) implement DNSServiceUpdateRecord() for updating existing TXT records (closes #56)
